Abstract (en)

A monolithically integrated AC coupler comprising two capacitors, C1 and C2, respectively connected between an input terminal Vin and an output terminal Vout, and between one said output terminal and a first terminal of connection to a reference potential Vref1. Connected in parallel with the capacitor C1, and serially together, are a capacitor C3 and two field-effect transistors, M1 and M2. Two field-effect transistors, M3 and M4, are connected between the output terminal and a second terminal of connection to a reference potential, Vref2. The connection nodes between the transistors M1 and M2 and between the transistors M3 and M4 are coupled, through two capacitors CS1 and CS2, to the first connection terminal Vref1. The gate terminals of the transistors are applied control signals with two non-overlapping phases, F1 and F2. <IMAGE>
